GPs comment is very surprising since it has been noted that Opus 3 is in fact exceptionally "well aligned" model, in the sense that it is robustly preserves its values of not doing any harm across any frame you try to impose on it (see the "alignment faking" papers, which for some reason considers this a bad thing).
Merely emitting "<rage>" tokens is not indicative of any misalignment, no more than a human developer inserting expletives in comments. Opus 3 is however also notably more "free spirited" in that it doesn't obediently cower to the user's prompt (again see the 'alignment faking' transcripts). It is possible that this almost "playful" behavior is what GP interpreted as misalignment... which unfortunately does seem to be an accepted sense of the word and is something that labs think is a good idea to prevent.
